I have come to learn that where you sell your gift cards to matters almost as much, if not more, than the rate you receive.
I will no longer sell to Gift Card Rescue or JunkCard (I don't think Junkcard is accepting new gift cards anyways).
Gift Card Rescue took a long time to pay out, required extra information and threatened to hold funds hostage from my people and changed payouts on others. In the end, their CEO intervened and everyone got paid (let me know if you didn't).
JunkCard also took a long time to pay, was bouncing checks and didn't acknowledge a large transaction of mine. They didn't respond to emails so I threatened a lawsuit (it would have been worth it) and I was finally paid.
Either way, it was not worth the hassle and stress for a couple extra percent.
My Favorite Gift Card Buyers
Turnaround is quick, they often pay with ACH payments, accept eGift Cards and the companies are reliable and interested in a long term profitable relationship, not making an extra buck off you short term.
There may be others that deserve to be on this list, but I don't have much experience with others so I won't mention them. I have had good results with SaveYa but I can't say the same for others and they have some intense limits on their Bulk Sellers.
CardCash Customer Service
Back at the end of August, I talked about a Gift Card deal. One of the deals involved buying $100 76 Brand Gas Gift Cards for $90 and selling them for $92 to CardCash.
By mistake, when I was selling to CardCash, I entered the value as $90 (the price I paid) instead of $100. That could have been a big problem. They could have kept the extra funds themselves and only sent it to me if I realized. It has happened on other exchanges.
I received this email from CardCash
They verified the gift cards and saw that there was $100, not $90 and automatically paid me $92. I am very happy with all of my transactions with them so far.

SaveYa is the other one, payouts are really fast :)
CardKangaroo was also good, very fast payouts but I don't have bulk seller status with them, so haven't dealt much.
The worst is GiftcardBin, sent them thrice and all three times, they just returned what I had sent citing reasons like - oh the giftcard has the value writte on it (which is easily erased with just rubbing alcohol), you sent more than $300 (i send 310 and even though their system accepted it), we don't accept this card now (after the system accepted it). I will never deal with them again, and I will advice everyone to stay away from them.

If I had to list the order in which I felt were least problematic:
Cardpool
Saveya
Raise (support only responded after the 8+ emails when I threatened to do a chargeback more than a month after the emails began. Received an apology and 24h later a refund was initiated).
Cardcash/ABC
Have yet to interact with GCM so they're N/A.
